However, Boeing will evaluate its options on security leading up to 2017, Tougas said.

The private security company will begin work in October at Boeing’s Auburn, Frederickson, Bellevue and Renton locations.

Already this year, Boeing has made several layoff announcements including engineering workers and assembly workers. Those layoffs were part of the company’s overall plan to reduce its workforce in the region by as many as 2,300 employees by year’s end. The cut to Boeing’s security workforce is not part of that plan, Tougas said.
